Houses with names.

[Dog]

Do you live in a house that has a name, if so what is it called and what is the meaning?

[Ponty]

No. Most are just bad puns or state the bleedin' obvious.

Well this spazpad I'm looking at buying is named, 'Dunblane'.

It puts the fear of god into me.

[Spudders]

I like the fact that dog puts a full stop at the end of his post names.

Crikey, not surprised. You could always just remove the name, or change it to something different.

When I buy a house on the Avenue I will call it the Ding dong Dell.

All the houses on our road have names, no numbers at all. If you look at the original 1936 building plans for our house, one of the 8 original houses on the road, the plots were named on the plans, and those are the names allocated to the houses.

This hasn't, however, prevented the Post Office arbitrarily assigning numbers ten years ago, which plays havoc with shops' address databases; there is one commercial database in use which only has numbers, despite nobody on our road using them. This results in our house being #16, despite being the 4th house built !

It is bad luck to change a house name.

 

If you do you will probably all be murdered as you sleep.

 

Don't do it.

My house name is '10'. I'm not sure why.

My parents named theirs after their favourite holiday location. It is also a bungalow.

Here Be Dragons

 

We named it, nothing to do with the occupiers, just the name of a book by someone who shares the same name as my wife

I used to live in 'Pussy Palace' at uni; Not that there was buckets of pussy about. Of course there was a bit though. It was always a bit of a chuckle to get my bank statements and othe formal demands through to the Pussy Palace.

[SNSUN]

I live in the White House.

 

It's white. It's not a house though, it's a cottage, so really we're lying to the neighbours.
